Soy isoflavones have drawn much attention due to their potential to prevent breast and prostate cancers, osteoporosis, heart disease, and other postmenopausal symptoms. Soy germ is one of the richest sources of isoflavones, and thus has good potential to be used as the ingredient of health foods. This study examined the extraction rate of isoflavones from soy germ at various conditions. After the effect of extraction temperature and duration on isoflavones extraction from soy germ was examined, the optimum concentration of ethanol as extraction solvent was determined. When ethanol concentration was fixed at $60\%\;(v/v)$, the maximum isoflavone extraction was achieved at 2 hrs and $30^{\circ}C$. Among various concentrations of ethanol tested, $80\%\;(v/v)$ ethanol showed the highest extraction efficiency. In conclusion, the maximum extraction of isoflavones was obtained using $80\%\;(v/v)$ ethanol as a solvent, at $30^{\circ}C$ of temperature, and 2 hrs of extraction time.

산분해간장에 간장 곡자를 첨가하고 고온의 자기소화, 젖산발효(Pediococcus soya), 알코올 발효(Saccharomyces rouxii) 및 후숙의 일련 과정으로 약 60일 간의 발효 실험을 실시하여, 산분해간장 중의 monochloropropanediol (MCPD)의 제거와 기타 간장 품질에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. MCPD 농도는 전 시험구에서 발효 초기에 현저히 감소됨을 보였다. 즉 초기 38.6 ppm에서 S-1 시험구는 2.2 ppm, S-2 시험구는 1.3 ppm, S-3 시험구는 2.0 ppm 그리고 S-4 시험구는 2.0 ppm으로 각각 감소되었다. 특히 S. rouxii를 첨가한 발효에서 가장 높은 MCPD 제거율을 보였으며 미국의 MCPD 규제 농도인 2 ppm보다 낮았다. 또한 전 시험구에서 총질소와 아미노태 질소 함량은 각각 1.8%, 1.0% 이상이었고 질소용해율은 55%이었다. 환원당은 효모가 첨가된 시험구(S-2, S-4)에서 1% 미만으로 감소된 반면 에탄올 함량은 1% 이상을 나타내었다. 총 유리아미노산 함량은 10,000 mg/100 mL 전후이었고, 특히 glutamic acid 는 $1270{\sim}1323\;mg/100\;mL$으로 양조간장과 비슷한 값을 나타내었다. 이상의 간장 제품 풍미에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있는 화학성분의 변화와 본 연구에서 제조한 발효 아미노산간장의 관능상 품질은 양조간장과 비슷한 수준으로 평가되었다(p<0.05). 그러므로 본 연구에서 시험한 MCPD제거를 위한 산분해간장의 곡자 첨가에 의한 발효 공정은 MCPD의 효과적 제거는 물론이고 경제적으로도 매우 유리하면서도 산분해간장의 품질도 크게 개선시킬수 있는 새로운 산분해간장 제조 공정이 될 수있다고 생각된다.

The Purpose of this study was to propose the most effective packaging method and storage conditions to apply to home-delivered meals for the elderly Changes in the physical and sensory qualities of pan fried oak mushroom and meat, soy sauce glazed hair tail and roasted dodok, in wrap packaging, top sealing and vacuum packaging were evaluated during storage at 25, 4 and -18$^{\circ}C$, for 5 days. The speed of falling-off in the foods qualities, under chilled and frozen storage conditions did not differ much as the 5 day storage period was too short for a proper assessment. The sensory characteristics of taste and texture were better evaluated in the chilled than in the frozen storage. The most effective packaging method at all the storage temperatures was the vacuum packaging, which assured the safety of the foods by the removal of oxygen. The lightness, springiness and hardness were significantly influenced by the storage temperature, period and packaging method, while the sensory characters were affected by storage temperature and the period. In conclusion, the quality of the vacuum packed pan fried oak mushroom and meat and soy sauce glazed hair tail, in frozen storage, were still fresh after the five days of the experiment. The shelf-life of those foods with wrap packaging, in chilled storage, were suggested to be three days. The quality of the roasted dodok, with vacuum packaging in chilled storage, was preserved for five days.

Aim: Soy foods are the major source of isoflavones, which are believed to play important roles in genesis of breast cancer and its progression. We here conducted a prospective study to evaluate the association of soy isoflavone food consumption with breast cancer prognosis. Methods: A prospective study was performed from January 2004 and January 2006 in China. Trained interviewers conducted face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire to collect information on dietary habits and potential confounding factors. The relative risk [hazard ratio (HR)] and 95% CI were calculated from the Cox regression model for all significant predictors from cancer diagnosis to the endpoint of the study (event). Results: After a median follow up of 52.1 months (range, 9-60 months), a total of 79 breast cancer related deaths were recorded in our study, risk being inversely associated with a high intake of soy isoflavone. With an average intake of soy isoflavone above 17.3 mg/day, the mortality of breast cancer can be reduced by about 38-36%. We also found the decreased breast cancer death with high soy protein intake, with a HR (95% CI) of 0.71 (0.52-0.98). Stratified analysis with reference to the ER status, further demonstrated a better prognosis of ER positive breast cancer with a high intake of soy isoflavone (HR 0.59, 0.40-0.93). Conclusion: Our study shows the soy food intake is associated with longer survival and low recurrence among breast cancer patients. A cohort study with a larger sample size and long term follow-up is now needed.

Aim: Isoflavones in soy foods are part of a larger class of flayonoid compounds that have have been demonstrated to be potent dietary anti-cancer agents, and the effect of soy intake on the survival of ovarian cancer is conflicting. Therefore, we aimed to explore the whether soy intake is related to the risk of death of breast cancer. Methods: A prospective study was conducted. A total of 256 patients included in this study had breast cancer and were recruited between January 2004 and January 2006. All of them were followed up from since January 2011. A univariate Cox's regression analysis was used to assess the association between soy intake and survival. Results: The education level, menopausal status, ER/PR status and TNM stage were significant difference in the survival of breast cancer. The highest soy isoflavone was associated with a decreased death risk of breast cancer (OR=0.25, 95% CI=0.09-0.54). Moreover, the higher consumption of soy protein also presented a trend decreased breast cancer risk, and the highest consumption significantly reduced the cancer risk compared with the lowest consumption (OR=0.38, 95% CI=0.17-0.86). Conclusion: The present study suggests soy intake is associated with a significant reduced death risk of breast cancer in Chinese population. Further large sample studies are warranted to confirm the inverse association of soy consumption and breast cancer survival by menopausal status.

본 연구에서는 농축대두단백으로 두유를 만들고 미생물 pretense와 papain을 단독 또는 혼합 사용하여 대두단백질을 가수분해한 후, 단백질이 일부 가수분해 된 두유에서 L. acidophilus의 생육과 산생성을 관찰하고 제조된 젖산균음료의 관능성을 조사하였다. Pretense 처리로 젖산균의 산생성이 촉진되었는데 미생물 pretense가 papain보다 효과적이었으며 2종의 효소를 혼합 사용했을 때는 상승효과가 보였다. 그러나 pretense 처리로 pH와 생균수는 큰 변화가 없었다. 미생물 pretense의 경우는 가수분해시간 15분까지, papain의 경우는 가수분해시간 45분까지 산생성 촉진효과가 현저했으나 그 후에는 3시간이 경과하여도 큰 변화가 없었다. 미생물 pretense 0.2% 또는 papain 0.2% 처리로 대두젖산균음료의 전체적인 기호도와 맛이 다소 개선되었다. Protease 처리 15분에 비단백태질소의 함량이 현저하게 증가하였고 후 3시간까지 서서히 증가하였다.

Purpose: In order to develop soy sauce and increase its functionality, by adding black garlic extract. Methods: We compared quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of 20 days aging black garlic soy sauce from mixed manufacturers with raw soy sauce (commercial fermented soy sauce) and different ratio of black garlic extract (65 Brix, 0.3-5.0%). Results: The salt content of the black garlic extract (0.3-5.0%) added soy sauce were 12.35-12.77%. The pH was lowered to 4.99, and acidity was increased to 2.12%, depending on the increase in black garlic extract added ratio. The crude protein and total nitrogen contents were 6.23-6.62% and 1.10-1.16%, respectively, and content of amino form nitrogen was 0.52-0.53%, without significant differences between experimental groups. Contents of reducing sugar and free sugars (fructose and glucose) tended to be higher with higher mixing ratios of black garlic extract. Total phenolic compounds and flavonoids contents were significantly increased in the 3% and 5% black garlic extract addition group. At concentrations of 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1,000 and $2,000{\mu}g/mL$, the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity of the polysaccharides isolated from control soy sauce and 5% black garlic extract added soy sauce showed higher correlation with their concentration. Conclusion: These results, confirmed that the soy sauce produced by adding more than 3% of black garlic extract has high antioxidant activity.

The purpose of this study was to assess the qualities of cook/chilled soy sauce-glazed soybean curd with various packaging conditions as a trial to develop health-oriented convenience foods. The effects of three packaging methods, linear low density-polyethylene (LLD-PE), top sealing, and modified atmosphere packaging(MAP) on the shelf-life of HACCP-based cook/chilled soy sauce-glazed soybean curd were evaluated during 20 days of chilled storage in terms of time-temperature, microbiological (total aerobic plate count, psychrotrophic plate count, coliform, and fecal coliform count), chemical(pH and peroxide value(POV)), and sensory evaluation. The results of microbiological and chemical analyses were within the limits of the microbial and chemical standards for all phases after cooking. No significant differences were detected in microbial counts of the samples for all three packaging methods. However, sensory evaluation indicated that the top sealing and MAP methods showed a longer shelf-life than LLD-PE packaging. Recommended shelf-life of the product was 12 days for LLD-PE packaging, and 16 days for both top sealing and MAP. In conclusion, MAP was considered as the most effective packaging method for assuring microbial and sensory quality of this cook/chilled product.
